Starting an independent pentecostal church
 
Thoughts? Warnings? Encouragement? Great stories? Fellowship? Dealing with keeping/losing existing friends, and intentional isolation from previous group backslash?

Do it, because why not!? :lol

You will lose maybe all of your church friends. I’m sorry, I mean “friends.”

I’m assuming you’re a married male with children, correct? Bro, protect your family. The people that loved on you for x amount of years will put down the love and pick up pitchforks and torches.

If you happen to still be reading this forum. Follow what the Lord Jesus Christ has set for you. Psalm 127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

Anyone you lose as a "friend" was NEVER your brother in Jesus name.
So, keep in mind that leaving an organization (or fellowship) is a good way to weed out the wicked and expose those who were just glad handers. Brothers are brothers who are supposed to hold fast. I don't mean agree with everything you might do or say. Yet, they will stick with you and be available if you need them :thumbsup
